I Got All Black

Shivaree


It got all black in the bottom of my glass 
I looked up and there was Bridgette Fontaine 
I've got poison in my head, I've got chocolate and bread 
And I may never leave this room again 
Now its dark and you love me, honey, count to ten 
I can help you to distinguish your pain 
It's so gorgeous to be back in Paris once again 
Now I wonder what they put in the rain 

This could be true 
Or it could take all of an hour 
I could just forget you 
Have a cocktail and a shower 
Like my mother taught me 

That everybody loves a mystery 
So you can leave it at your name and your rank 
If we like it maybe I can get your history 
Maybe put a little more in the bank 

This could be true 
Or we could just be a while here 
Find better things to do 
Think you might go out of style dear 

Ice cream, sunshine, thrill rides, and a song 
They can leave you doubled over, burned and broken 
If they take too long 

This could be true 
Or we could be all of an hour 
I could still forget you 
Have a cocktail and a shower 
Like my mother said 
It's true
